Liu Boxian took the name of Liu Mingge, took Liu Mingge's giant sword, and went straight to Yuzhang with his own men and horses to coerce Liu Fuan and his party.

Strangely, Cui Guangyuan did not send people to chase this team of nearly 1,000 people, and the soldiers along the road who occasionally intercepted were also cut by Liu Boxian with his sword.

When crossing the river, Huang Chunzhi took advantage of the unprepared guards to throw herself into the river. This Liu Boxian is very powerful in martial arts and resourcefulness, but he is not accustomed to water, so he has to let his subordinates search for it.

There is basically no hope of finding a person in the river who throws himself into the river, and there are those who honestly got on the boat to recover their lives and were chopped up by Liu Boxian and thrown into the river to feed the fish. The smart one went down to the river and didn't get on the boat again.

Anyway, Liu Fuan is still in his hands, and losing a Huang Chunzhi will not hinder the overall situation. Liu Boxian's men and horses continued to set off and went to Yuzhang by water.

When passing by Chaisangkou, Liu Boxian asked people to put on an iron mask for himself, and left half of the men and horses in the name of the prime minister to camp in Chaisangkou, named Xinliuying.

Someone had already reported about Li Xiaofei in Yuzhang City, and Li Xiaofei hurriedly brought his cronies and everyone in the academy to greet "Mr. Liu".

Liu Jian had already moved to Tanzhou at this time, Liu Boxian didn't know, and when he saw Li Xiaofei and others, he learned Liu Mingge's tone and asked, "Is the emperor okay in Yuzhang?" ”

Li Xiaofei and everyone looked at each other, the matter of moving to Tanzhou was agreed upon by Liu Mingge before he set off, why did Liu Mingge ask knowingly.

Liu Boxian also knew that he probably said the wrong thing, "Ahem, the old man is a little tired, and he was injured in the Suizhou War, and the little prince and the old man have been rescued, you are so good to take care of him, he was frightened a lot!" ”

Looking at the masked "Mr. Liu" in front of him, Li Xiaofei was the first to have doubts, "Mr. Liu, before you left, you promised to give me 500,000 yuan to run the academy, do you remember?" ”

Liu Boxian slowly took off his mask, "I knew that if I wore a mask, you would suspect me, haha, don't say 500,000 guan, I also brought you 1 million guan"

After saying that, Liu Boxian clapped his hands, and the people behind him quickly dodged away, revealing dozens of carts of things, and the gold and silver branches on the carriage behind helped Liu Fu'an down and walked forward.

As soon as Li Xiaofei saw Liu Fu'an, he ran over: "Little prince! Little prince, you're back! ”

Liu Fuan instinctively hid backwards, "You are a bad person, you are a bad person!" ”

Li Xiaofei laughed, "Little Wangye, I am Li Xiaofei, and I hugged you a few years ago!" ”

"You're a bad person! You're the bad guy! You go away! Don't hit me! Liu Fuan ran back desperately

Li Xiaofei wanted to chase, but Liu Boxian shouted, "Don't chase, I said that the little prince was frightened, so don't chase it!" ”

Li Xiaofei had to retreat back and let others pick up Liu Fu'an, Liu Boxian looked at the people who knelt down to Liu Fu'an, "Everyone has worked hard, wait for the prime minister to rest in Yuzhang for a few days, and then go to Tanzhou to meet the emperor!" Well, tonight in Yuzhang City, I want to have a big feast to entertain you! ”

Li Xiaofei and everyone were a little at a loss again, this Liu Mingge always eats alone on weekdays, and occasionally has a meal with Liu Jian, Li Xiaofei and several others, and never invites guests. How to save people and come back, his temperament has changed greatly, is it because the demon of the Great War has penetrated life and death?

Between everyone's doubts, Liu Boxian smiled, "Life and death are great, life should be happy in time, haha, if you have wine and meat today, you will be happy for a day, and tomorrow's things are unknown!" ”

"The Prime Minister's teachings, we must obey them!"

Liu Boxian waved his hand, "People have their own ambitions, you can't force them, you don't have to learn from me"

Although this Liu Mingge in front of him is a little weird, everyone is not suspicious, this Liu Mingge has always been a weird person, and this time it is nothing more than a strange angle.

Liu Boxian not only had to entertain everyone, but also gave a reward to everyone who came to greet him.

"Mr. Liu is finally enlightened!"

"Prime Minister Liu Cheng has really become generous when he comes back this time!"

"Looks like he's made a fortune out there!"

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Liu Boxian entered Yuzhang City, this time it was very lively, one was that there was no martial law, and the other was that Liu Boxian's team threw money on both sides of the road from time to time, and the people who rushed to pick up the money were in a mess on the ground.

In the next three days, Liu Boxian held a feast, the first day was Li Xiaofei and the officials plus the academy and others, the second day was the rich merchants in Yuzhang City, and the third day was the so-called descendants of the family he brought.

Liu Fuan was afraid when he saw Li Xiaofei, and in desperation, Li Xiaofei had no choice but to ask Yuan Xin to take care of and treat Liu Fuan.

Yuan Xin checked it for a few days and told Li Xiaofei that Liu Fuan was indeed too frightened, and he couldn't remember the past.

"Then is there a way to cure the little prince, if you send it to Tanzhou like this, I'm afraid that the emperor and queen will be very sad."

Yuan Xin looked at Liu Fu'an, who was still trembling in his sleep, "I can't do it with my medical skills at present, but Mr. Liu should be able to cure it, but he hasn't been cured, and I don't quite understand." ”

"It's not just that you don't understand, I don't understand either, I always feel that this Mr. Liu is not the one we are familiar with, although he looks exactly the same, but he is a different person entirely!"

"Maybe that's the weirdness of Mr. Liu, he always makes people can't understand him."

"I also asked someone from Jianlou to help me check, and they said that this is Mr. Liu, maybe I thought too much, or maybe we didn't understand Mr. Liu in the first place."

Next, Liu Boxian took Liu Fuan to Tanzhou, and Li Xiaofei failed to accompany him because of Liu Fuan.

Seeing their son, who had been separated for more than a year, Liu Jian and his wife were already crying silently, hugging Liu Fuan tightly.

Liu Fu'an stared blankly and didn't speak, and he didn't know them at all.

"The little prince is too frightened, Weichen is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!"

Liu Jian and his wife were full of joy and sorrow, Xiao Qian hugged Liu Fu'an, "You speak, I am your mother, An'er, you speak!" ”

Qin Zhong hurriedly sent Xiao Qian's mother and son back to the side hall of the temporary palace with a few palace maids on the side.

The temporary palace in Tanzhou was the old palace of King Changsha in the Han Dynasty, and it has been well preserved for hundreds of years. After Zhou Dapeng's renovation, although it is not as good as one percent of the palace cities in Jinling Luoyang and other metropolises, it can also accommodate the emperor and hundreds of officials.

In the main hall, Liu Jian sighed, "Alas, Prime Minister Liu, thanks to you, we can also see the emperor." It's just that I didn't expect them to abuse the emperor so viciously, it's intolerable! ”

"Wechen has killed those bad guys who abused the little prince, and Wechen will be able to find a panacea to cure the little prince with the help of the power of the major families!"

Everyone present was shocked, Liu Mingge actually had a connection with the family?

Liu Jian also asked in surprise, "Prime Minister Liu?" Are you connected to the Maison? Didn't the family be served by Pharmacist Zhu earlier? ”

Liu Boxian touched his beard, "Your Majesty, everyone, the minister was originally from the Liu clan in Hedong!" ”

Only then did everyone remember that the Liu family in Hedong was indeed one of the families, but the Liu family had always believed in Huang Lao's technique and emphasized the rule of inaction, so they rarely became officials in the court. And Liu Mingge is an outlier in the Liu family, not only cultivating the Tao but also learning the doctrine of the Legalist Wang Bazhi, and becoming an official and killing people to go to sea to do business.

Liu Jian also understood: "I lost my words for a while, if Mr. Liu can lead the family to be loyal to the imperial court and help me to rejuvenate the Liang, it will naturally be great!" It's just that the family is now gone, and the good and the bad are mixed, could it be that Mr. Liu has a way to change all this? ”

"The family and the generals and eunuchs are the pillars of the beam, and the pillars will inevitably rot after a long time

It's not the fault of the pillar, it's just a matter of replacing it with new wood if it's broken. Since Emperor Wu of the Great Liang, the peace has been maintained for a long time, the family is dominant, and the road to the advancement of the people in the world has been blocked by the family, so there will be later generals who rebelled against the Nandu of the Great Liang. ”

At this time, most of the generals in this humble court are the generals of the Southern Navy, they are all civilians, and they finally have today's official position, and now Liu Mingge wants to support the family to get a piece of the pie, so he is naturally strongly opposed.

Zhou Dapeng was the first to speak, "Mr. Liu, we have always respected you. But this family has already decayed and declined, so why bother to get it out again? As long as we work together, we will be able to help the emperor prosper the beam, whether there is a family or not, we can do it! ”

"Marshal Zhou's words are wrong, he was beaten by the Cui family in Jiangling a few days ago, it can be seen that the family is not useless as Marshal Zhou said!"

Speaking of which, everyone was even more shocked, could it be that this Liu Mingge is also connected with the Cui family?

"Mr. Liu, the Cui family is rebellious, not a family, and it can't be compared with your Hedong Liu family! Please also ask Mr. Liu to distinguish between right and wrong! ”

Zhou Dapeng spoke sharply, and asked Liu Mingge to distinguish between right and wrong, that is, to draw a clear line between the Liu family and the Cui family in Hedong.

"White horses are not horses, one leaf is blind, Qinghe Cui's rebellion is true, but they are not to replace the Emperor of Liang, but to make the last struggle to keep the family's rightful position!"

Liu Jian was also puzzled, why did Liu Mingge go out to save people and come back instead of becoming a lobbyist of the Cui family, but when he thought of Liu Mingge's loyal guards for more than a year, Liu Jian did not suspect that Liu Mingge would betray him.

"Mr. Liu, I probably understand what you mean, do you think that as long as I promise the Cui family, they will stop the rebellion? But if they kill so many people, if I don't punish them, how can I face the people of the world in the future? ”

"My disciples of Nanyang Academy were also slaughtered! Privately, I also want to kill them all to vent the hatred in my heart! For the sake of the big picture, time is running out! Our army has not been able to cross the river to the north at present, and Wei may betray the alliance at any time to cut off the grain route between us and the South China Sea! In the past, Duke Qi Huan pardoned Guan Zhong who shot him with an arrow and dominated the world, could it be that the Great Liang Imperial Court didn't even have such a mind? ”

Liu Boxian's words were reasonable, and Zhou Dapeng did not continue to object, but looked at others.

Wu Fengxian smiled, "What the prime minister means is that the emperor's edict can quell the rebellion of the Cui family, in this case, wouldn't it be redundant for me to wait?" ”

"The general clearly misunderstood the old man. The war between the imperial court and the Cui family is a brother within the wall, as long as the words are said and the conditions are negotiated, they can be calmed down at any time. However, in the future, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains will dominate the world, but it will depend on the generals to fight in the front, and the family to organize manpower, grain and grass in the rear. ”

Liu Jian also felt that what Wu Fengxian said made sense, and waved his hand, "Prime Minister Liu, the Cui family has been in rebellion for several years and has been planning for decades, although Cui Ju is dead, the Cui family will not be reconciled, they will not quit because of an edict!" ”

Everyone looked at Liu Boxian with a sneering look, and Liu Boxian knelt down towards Liu Jian, "The old minister is not talented, I am willing to go to Jiangling with the edict to persuade Cui Guangyuan to surrender!" ”

At this time, everyone was caught off guard, and no one expected that this Mr. Liu would take the initiative to invite Ying to go deep into the dangerous place.

Liu Jian also hurriedly went to help Liu Boxian, "Sir, please get up, how can I not know about Mr.'s loyalty, and please don't be surprised!" ”

"The minister is not angry, the minister is sure! If the minister can't do this, all the descendants of the family brought by the minister will be dismissed, and the minister will no longer mention the matter of supporting the family for the rest of his life! ”

I didn't expect this Mr. Liu to come to the real thing, and everyone couldn't object anymore, they just felt that this Mr. Liu was too stubborn and a little crazy. What he can't fight for on the battlefield, how can he do it on his own.

Liu Jian also knew that Mr. Liu's character was stubborn and he always spoke well, so he agreed to Mr. Liu's request.
